Oh wow, this is reminiscent of Ayn Rand's novel, The Fountainhead. It portrays everything about the character Howard Roark, in my opinion-man as an heroic being; strength; and exactly what you have titled it: the world on his shoulders. Also, the fact it's got to do with architecture emphasizes it all.

Hah that's cool. Normally I dislike statue photos because it seems mostly that the statue is more the piece of art than the photo, but this makes it a lot more original with the awesome angle. Great meaning
